How it sells itself

Know which lots are about to expire, sell the oldest stock first, and pull a recall list by lot number in one click. Log a lot with product, lot number, quantity, dates, supplier and COA link. The dashboard sorts lots into Expired, Expiring soon and Active, and a FEFO list shows what to sell first. Search by lot or supplier and export the recall report to PDF or CSV. A weekly expiry email is part of the paid plan.

Serial Trail gives every physical unit a durable serial record. Create or import serial numbers, assign them at fulfillment, scan lifecycle changes, and reconcile the registry against orders and stock. When a product issue appears, define the affected population by serial range, pool, serial list, or product and sold-date window, then preview the exact affected units before you activate.

Key points
  • Log a lot fast — product, lot #, quantity, dates, supplier, COA link.
  • Home dashboard shows Expired, Expiring soon, and Active lots at a glance.
  • Weekly expiry digest emails you before any lot goes past its date.
  • One-click recall report by lot or supplier — export to PDF or CSV.
  • Create, import, or auto-generate serial numbers and assign them at fulfillment.
  • Recall by serial range, pool, serial list, or product and sold-date window.
  • Validate warranty claims against a real serial, with duplicate and fraud flags.
  • Public serial lookup and QR unit passports, with no buyer or order data exposed.

Reviews, ratings, plans, features and integrations come from each app’s Shopify App Store listing. 28-day figures are labeled when estimated, and a figure that is missing or estimated never decides who leads.
